Hi all, I am Pam. I successfully finished the challenge in October, tried November and made it until the last week (Thanksgiving) and then took off the last 2 months. I am ready to get back on track again and this challenge really helps me stay focused. Good luck to everyone and remember to do the best you can do each day.

Congratulations on making it a year and being able to see the results of all of your hard work. You look amazing! But I agree, you were very pretty before and wore 270lbs well. Looking forward to seeing what you can accomplish in the next year.

Thank you for sharing your story! You look amazing and are a great inspiration to me. I am in the phase where I am doing a diet, but really want to make this a lifestyle change. I am glad to see that it is possible and just takes persistance.

thank you for sharing all of the recipes.

I'm 5'8"/45 yo and currently 170 is my goal. Once I hit that, I will probably work on losing another 10-15 lbs (my goal is to get as thin as I can before I hit menopause). I am large boned with big boobs/hips.

Hi, I just accepted your friend request. I am 45 and definitely understand how weight can just creep on if you are busy taking care of others and not paying attention to yourself. Just being conscious of what you are eating will move you in the right direction. Good luck in your journey.

Thank you for sharing all of the yummy recipes.

Thank you for all of the tips/tricks. I have also had Charlie Horses the last 2 days. Both mornings I woke up to excruciating pain. I was thinking it might be the colder weather. But who knows.

I can also motivate... I am 45 and I started last year on 1/11/14 and have lost 60+ lbs so far. FR sent.

Thank you for the link! I will definitely have to try some of these recipes!

Congratulations! You have done an amazing job in a year. Our stories are very similiar, except I am still struggling with the Fibromyalgia pain, but I have a lot more energy now. I am 5'8", started off at 270, now at 210, and have Fibromyalgia. Also hoping that one day I can be pain free, but my quality of life is…

awww.. Thank you necolong!! I am glad that we are friends too! You are a big inspiration to me also :)

That is too funny.. I am 45, he is my 20 yo son. On the bottom picture, my husband (51) is on the left and my son (20) is on the right.

Thank you. The boy next to me is my 20 yo son and biggest cheerleaders. It really helps to have 2 people in my life who are helping me/cheering me on in this journey.

Thank you everyone! Good luck to all of you in your journey to a healthier/happier you.

Thank you everyone! It is amazing what you can accomplish if you just tackle one day at a time. I still have a ways to go, but I have faith in myself now that I can get there.

Thank you for all of the recipes!
